How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog - Paperback
by Chad Orzel (Author)
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But this "witty and clear thinking" (New York Times) book wonders, what about relativity?
Physicist Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein's physics. Through armchair, and sometimes passenger-seat, conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas into examples simple enough for a dog to understand. A lively romp through one of the great theories of modern physics, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about space, time, and anything else you might have slept through in high school physics class.Chad Orzel is the R. Gordon Gould Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College in Schenectady, NY, and the author of five books explaining science for non-scientists. In 2021, he was named a fellow of the American Physical Society for his work on public communication of science. He lives in Niskayuna, NY, with his family and dog Charlie.
